Absolutely thrilled to share my debut (open access!) article! Today marks 158 years since the final day of the 1866 Memphis Massacre. The violence was shaped and guided by the loyalties of those involved, which you can read about below 👇 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

It's often claimed that social media is producing a generation of inarticulate zombies. But listen to this girl. Here she is on national TV without missing a beat getting across her points with confidence and good humour. Too many people are reading into the joke at the end as if it's genuinely what she's going to do. If you think that, she is smarter than you. And she grew up with social media.
Listen to what the girl says at the end 😂

'Clothes that belonged together, but only on a bonfire' might be one of the best lines I've ever read

I keep bursting out laughing at the absurdity of the situation. It's freezing cold, windy, everyone I know is out of town, neighbour's driveways are all empty, every so often there's drops of rain, stopped hearing from the letting agent. Living my best life
Locked myself out and everyone I know in Newcastle isn't actually in Newcastle 🙃

Just had my taste in music described as 'hypersexual dreck' and to be honest I can't even argue

It's so painfully obvious barely any of the students have done the readings I asked them to do for this seminar and I'm so tired of it
